""the people of Northern Ireland" never wanted the violence in the first place"
Of course they didn't but the violence was instigated when the Catholic minority reached breaking point when their peaceful civil rights marches were met with by violence, both from Loyalist mobs and from the police who co-operated with them.
Isn't it lucky that people like McGuinness were around to to help getting a Peace Process started rather than playing the blame game, as is happening here?
Some people never learn - or are personally never in a position to have to.Give it a rest Teribus - we really have been here before
